Apart from the excellent links that Sheeri provided, note specifically
that meetup.com is free for MySQL user groups.
You get calendar/signup stuff in there, as well as a mailing list and
other relevant infrastructure. Plus good Google juice.
In terms of content, I'd be happy to do a gig by video some time, in
Dutch - I'm a native Dutchie except I live in Australia ;-)
Similarly, I'm sure that Roland Bouman (in Leiden) would be happy to
do a talk also.
Also happy to help on the Dutch mailing list (in Dutch) when you set
it up.
Be sure to let me know!
Cheers,
Arjen.
